Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support in your home as memory loss and confusion grow. It’s not a cure. It’s someone who understands how the disease moves through your parent’s day, who can keep routines steady when everything feels like it’s shifting, and who knows how to handle the moments when your parent is lost or scared.
Day to day, that means helping with hygiene and dressing, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, reminding them to take medication on time, and watching for falls or wandering. It means noticing small changes and telling you about them. It means keeping your parent safe when you can’t be there, and giving you back some sleep.
After a stay at William W. Backus Hospital or a diagnosis from your Norwich doctor, Alzheimer’s Care starts exactly when you need it. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to spot what’s changing and how to talk to doctors about it. We’ve walked this path with other families in New London County.
Our founder was a nurse. We know Alzheimer’s doesn’t move in a straight line. We build routines that work now, adjust them as things shift, and help you see what’s coming. You’re not managing this alone anymore.
We don’t send someone new each week. We listen to what your parent needs, who they respond to, what time of day is hardest. Then we brief that caregiver on everything, so they walk in ready. Experience matters here.
When your parent wanders at 2 a.m. or refuses to eat, you need someone to talk to right now. You call us. We answer. We adjust the plan that day if we need to.
We work with William W. Backus Hospital on discharges. We know Montville, Groton, Ledyard, and every street in Norwich. We’re here. We understand what New London County families face.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver comes to your home for the hours you choose, usually mornings or afternoons or both. They help with bathing, dressing, eating, and medication reminders. They prepare meals, tidy up, do light laundry, and keep an eye out for wandering or falls. They're also just there, talking with your parent, helping them feel less confused and scared. You get regular updates on how the day went and what you're seeing.
We can often start within two or three days of your call, sometimes sooner. We work with the hospital's discharge team so there's no gap. You tell us what your parent needs coming home, we find the right caregiver, and they're briefed before the first day. If it's urgent, we move fast.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare doesn't cover it the way it covers skilled nursing or physical therapy. We work with families to build a plan that fits what you can spend. Some families use long-term care insurance, others use savings or family help. We're honest about cost upfront.
A home health aide comes after a doctor orders it, usually for a limited time after illness or surgery. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, for as long as your parent needs it. We focus on memory loss, confusion, wandering, and safety. A home health aide focuses on recovery from a specific event. They're different tools for different situations.
Yes. We ask you about your parent's personality, what they like, what time of day is hardest, whether they do better with a man or woman, what language they speak at home. We listen for the details that matter. Then we find someone who fits and can handle Alzheimer's. We don't just send availability.
We call you right away and we have a backup ready. We don't surprise your parent with someone brand new. We send someone who knows the routine and has met your parent before, or we reschedule that day if you can manage it. Your parent's stability is the whole point.
